Determining Trichome Readiness: Advice on Equipment or Techniques
kansasscott725started grow question 3 years ago
I absolutely suck at harvesting and using the mini 🔬to determine trichome readiness. I don't have a steady hand, and it takes me forever to see if it's clear, milky, or amber. I see a lot of people on here with some ridiculously amazing up close photos of even their trichomes.

Jewellers loop on Amazon are cheap. USB microscope are cheap and great for the not so steady hand. Stacks some cups and stuff to raise it to the height. I use the jewellers loop with my phone and it works great for me.

Fattening phase / strechOne of the plants, which can be easily spotted, stretched like crazy compared to others.
The only thing that worries me if she's going to manage to fill those colas... At this point I feed her more than the others and she seems to like it...
Any suggestions for fattening?3 years ago

Harvest twice? How much time for trichomes to change?I noticed the first few amber trichomes on my top bud yesterday with 23 days left for recommended flower time. How long does the color change take normally on the trichomes? I think I need to take the top two colas first and let the bottom catch up. My 1st harvest ever, any tips?

Foxtailing? What do I do?Is she foxtailing? Do I harvest now? Her guide is 56-60 days and she’s on day 67. Seems like her pistols have turned amber and turned in and her trichomes are cloudy but these new growths I wasn’t sure if she was ready or foxtailing. Do I harvest her now?

Trichome Advice--Cloudy enough to stop giving nutes??I'm trying to figure out when I should stop giving nutes. I've read 1-2 weeks before harvest when the trichomes turn Amber. My question is: Based on these trichomes, when would you stop giving nutes? Do they look cloudy enough to stop now? Or should I wait until I see amber?
